I've had interrupted jobs which basically leaves patchy gaps in between 9 years since graduation (I'm perfectly intelligent enough, there have been a lot of anxiety and functionality issues, but that's beside the point).

There are perfectly good ways of finessing your resume over things. If you want to go the route of extended illness you can. You can go the route of helping your family in crisis. You can even go the route of learning new trades (though you would have to take some sort of extension course or the like probably). The point is, you don't have to feel embarassed by a gap. You had an illness, its not really your employer's place to judge that unless there's no laws to otherwise set them apart from that.

Yes, I think it will take finessing (this isn't lying, and one shouldn't think of it whether it may seem so or not -- people get ill. For long periods of time.) Ask your doctor, I think you have a good idea there.
